REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor herewith submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1901 :
The aid to outside poor is somewhat in excess of the past few years, owing in part to the number of people who have a settlement in Randolph and live elsewhere.
At the almshouse Timothy M. O'Leary and wife continue as superintendent and matron, respectively. The comment of the Inspector of Institutions in his report, as the result of his examination of the house for the year 1901, fully ex- presses all that is necessary to say in their behalf : "Clean, in good condition and well managed."
There were three deaths during the year : Elizabeth French, Lewis Linfield and John F. McKay.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Randolph :
The School Committee hereby make and submit their an- nual report for the year ending December 31, 1901.
It is with a great degree of satisfaction that your Commit- tee have been able to form a desirable union for the employ- ment of a superintendent of schools with the towns of Hol- brook and Avon. Dr. John E. Bradley was unanimously elected superintendent for this district. Since his election he has labored earnestly for the improvement and systema- tization of the schools, and the results of his work meet the approval and the hearty endorsement of your Committee.
Two changes have occurred in our corps of teachers dur- ing the year ; Nelson Freeman was elected to fill the posi- tion vacated by Thomas H. West, who labored faithfully and assiduously for thirty-five years as principal of the Prescott Grammar School. Miss Elizabeth G. Lyons, for many years an efficient teacher of the Tower Hill School, resigned last spring term, and Miss Katherine J. Riley was elected for that school.
School census, taken September, 1901, shows the number of children between the ages of five and fifteen to be 635, a decrease of 18 from the previous year.
The schoolroom occupied by the second grade in the Pres- cott primary building has been refurnished with new teach- er's desk, adjustable seats and desks for the pupils, also a
52
new stove, for a little less sum than the appropriation voted for that purpose at the last annual meeting.
The Prescott School building has been shingled at a cost of $247.
Two rooms in the North Grammar School building have been thoroughly painted, calciumized and varnished, and an innumerable number of small repairs have been made through- out the town. The Prescott School building needs to be painted, and the Prescott primary building needs shingling the coming year.
Your Committee have endeavored to keep within the ap- propriations voted by the town at the annual meeting, and have a balance on the right side of the account. 'The town voted, and your Committee have acted under the expecta- tion that the receipts from the State School Fund would be about $282, same as the previous year, but at the close of the year our Town Treasurer received a check on account of State School Fund amounting to the sum of $638.08, which has made our balance unexpectedly larger.
The Commissioners of the State School Fund report that this large increase is due to the exchange of railroad stock in the sinking fund for Boston & Maine Railroad bonds. " The Commissioners call special attention to the temporary nature of this increase. Hereafter, because of the withdrawal of Boston & Maine bonds from the sinking fund and their application elsewhere, the income from the school fund will resume its normal magnitude."
The School Committee voted at the beginning of the school year that pupils of the Grammar School should be promoted to the High School on their average per cent. of scholarship during the year. Graduating exercises were held at the North Grammar School, and diplomas were presented to eighteen pupils ; also diplomas were presented to twenty-six pupils of the Prescott Grammar School.

A detailed statement of the expenditures in this depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1901, is annexed to this report.
